JANUARY 15: The Bucks have officially signed Colson to a two-way contract, the team announced today in a press release.
JANUARY 14: After opening up a two-way contract slot by waiving Jaylen Morris, the Bucks are filling that opening with new two-way player Bonzie Colson, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski (via Twitter). Wojnarowski reports that the Bucks and Colson have agreed to a two-way deal in advance of Tuesday’s deadline.
Colson, 23, joined the Cavaliers as an undrafted free agent during the 2018 offseason after having missed most of his senior year at Notre Dame due to multiple foot injuries. He was viewed as a potential second-round pick before fracturing his left foot against Penn State during the National Invitation Tournament in March.
Although he didn’t make Cleveland’s regular season roster in the fall, Colson joined the team’s G League affiliate, the Canton Charge, and has bounced back nicely. In 23 NBAGL games, the rookie forward has averaged 15.5 PPG, 7.8 RPG, and 1.5 BPG with a .489/.385/.667 shooting line.
The Bucks will have a full 17-man roster (15 standard contracts and a pair of two-way deals) once they make it official with Colson.
I always enjoyed watching Bonzie play, even as a Duke fan. Really talented guy and would love to see him get some run in the NBA
Jaron, Jalen, Jaylen… it’s a blue day for the Jays.
Someone report x%sure to HR for punning.
I wonder why the Cavs gave Jaron & Jalen a shot but not Bonzi Colson. There was some buildup for him.
